Best wine bars in Adelaide: find options near you

Cracking spot. Incredible selection of drinks and the staff and service was superb.

Oli mixed me a Dark and Stormy and then lit it on fire, it was so something else. He then proceeded to give us some great local insight to bars and restaurants in the area. Expert level service.

Don’t miss this spot.

Situated in the back streets of Adelaide and can be a little hard to find, on entrance the bar looks fabulous full of quirky ornaments and objects. We came on a Sunday and this was the only bar on our pub crawl that charged a Sunday charge (which I do understand it helps to cover costs, but…). I knew it was a cigar bar, but the smell was overwhelming, so be warned. The cocktail list was great and they were tasty, but there are so many buts for me. There are so many great bars in the back streets and this evening just didn’t make me want to rush back.

Elite is a word used freely these day’s but to say this experience is anything but does it a complete injustice, host’s are top shelf and ive learned more than I actually realised was possible. ill be coming back again to continue to learn and I cant recommend this enough to anyone that has an interest is “whiskey”. 12/10

What a beautiful way to celebrate Mother’s Day with sweet treats and gin cocktails. All the staff were friendly and chatty. The decor was super cute and of course the drinks were fantastic. We highly recommend booking this event for next year.

Hidden restaurant with some amazing food and music ! The ambience is amazing and it feels like you are inside a boat ! The staff are really friendly and the ambience is very well done ! The service was quick too ! The staff were friendly and they suggested some good food options too ! The best part about this place is it’s open till 2 am even on weekdays ! It has outside as well as inside sitting area! If you are in Adelaide do not miss out on this place !

Stunning time! We were visiting from
Melbourne and had some amazing drinks / cocktails! Would recommend.

Tried the Makers Mark Golden Sour tonight, delicious. Staff as always were amazing. Great job.

We have recently discovered several exceptional restaurants on Rundle Street, including East End Cellar. This venue embodies the essence of sophistication, boasting an intriguing atmosphere, impressive wine selection, and a tapas-style menu. We had the pleasure of enjoying a date night, complete with wine and tapas. I was particularly impressed with the ambiance and vibe of this establishment.

Today, we returned to the restaurant and savoured a delectable Wagyu rump steak lunch at East End Cellar, all for the remarkable price of $30. We paired our meal with a bottle of Malbec red wine from McLaren Vale, South Australia. We are thoroughly enamored with this restaurant.

Visited for lunch that ended around dinner, early July with four mates. Michael is an incredible host. The combination of wine shop, restaurant and wine bar is fantastic. Fair prices for excellent wine. There is nothing like East End Cellars in Sydney. We will be back.

A wonderful light lunch & drinks. Mozzarella & samuli fritters were light, crunchy and delish. Beef short rib & French onion toast was delightfully full flavoured. Outdoor seating is a great spot to relax. Menu includes original options, unfortunately calamari was not available.

Loved the vibe and atmosphere of this place. After a busy afternoon exploring the botanic gardens, we called in for a drink and nibbles.

Pretty poor service.
Sat down and ordered 3 steaks at the same time, 2 came out and they forgot about the 3rd.
Tried to justify my custom isn’t valuable because they have a large group next door.

Be vary of coming here. Service has gone down hill.
Atmosphere is crap. Food is average.

Resting on it laurels from its reputation from the past.

Many new venues opening up in and off Rundle St. I am going to steer clear of East End Cellars after this extremely poor experience.

Steak sandwich… not. Had to wait, I think they forgot us. Then our came a roll of some sort with some lettuce and a thin cut piece of meat in the middle. Was not cheap. Don’t do it. Beer was cold. Nice spot. Just a rip off and not value for money in any way.

Review
I booked in for dinner with 3 friends recently and did not have the experience we expected. I had heard nothing but good things yet we were all unimpressed. We arrived at our booking time and waited in the dining area for a staff member. Nobody approached us so I went to the bar and flagged down a staff member. I told them the name of my booking and they pointed outside and told me our table number and to order at the bar. Once seated we found some menus and decided to order the chefs selection for $79. I am Gluten free and since most of the menu had GFA listed I assumed this would be okay. I asked the question to the staff member at the bar who said “I don’t think we can do that”. I requested that she ask the chefs as she seemed unsure and she returned with a confirmation that they would not be able to cater for gluten free for the chefs selection on weekends. My three friends still ordered the chefs selection and I ordered a seperate entree and main. We also ordered some drinks, though two members of my party ordered the same drink which was served in different glasses of different volume for the same price. Very soon after we sat down the first course arrived, soon followed by the second course. Within 30 minutes we had 3 of 4 courses which was confusing as the menu stated that the chefs selection would take approximately 2 hours. The staff also cleared our second course to make room for the third before we were finished. During the entire experience we had to ask multiple times for serving tools, fresh plates, steak knives etc. When the third lot of food arrived we asked the waitress what number course this was and she said number four. Soon after, another course came out, and that staff member stated that it was the fourth course, then another staff member came out with dessert stating that dessert was the last course. The staff regularly seemed unsure of what they were serving us and what number course we were on. They were unable to answer questions on what the food was without returning to ask the kitchen. I have no problem with staff not know the answer to a question but all staff seemed reluctant to ask and return to the table. They also seemed confused when we wanted fresh plates and cutlery between courses. And when dessert arrived, plates and napkins were just left on the corner of the table. Once again, the course was bought out before we had finished the previous one. Finally, dessert came out. Two of the exact same dish… The food was lovely but not what we expected for $79 per person.

Although the food was nice the experience and service was subpar considering the reputation of the restaurant. Some more training for the staff as they all seemed very junior and inexperienced would be beneficial.

How have I not discovered this secret bar before now, because it’s through a hidden door!!!

Upon entering through the secret door, the setting just oozes warmth, such an inviting atmospheres for guests to enjoy. Soft dimmed lighting, stylish decor, vibey music and comfortable booth seating.

Greeted by welcoming Bartenders, who also provided attentive table service throughout the evening.

Also the menu is available via scan code, the bar staff are knowledgeable and attentive, guiding us through the menu, answering any questions and offering personalized recommendations.

Beyond the ambiance, the focus is on crafting high-quality, diverse cocktails, from classic recipes to unique signature creations.

Definitely a recommend spot for a late night drink.

We found the door. We won’t tell you where it is — secrets are part of the charm. But when we slipped through and descended into the underworld of art deco delight, we knew: this wasn’t just a bar. This was the beginning of something.

Inside, it was all shadows, brass, and the hum of low conversation.
Enter: Alphonso.
Charismatic. Commanding. Clad in leopard print and vibes so strong they should be bottled.
He didn’t serve us drinks. He served us conviction.

Then there was Kobe — the mixology mage. Quiet hands, serious eyes, alchemical talent. The drinks? Divine. But the lychee lolly? Transcendent. Like if a fruit had a secret and whispered it directly to your brain.

Every corner of the space oozes intention — smooth walnut wood, lush emerald green leather, a whiff of something forbidden. The art deco design doesn’t scream; it purrs. Please never change it. We beg.

We don’t know what time it was when we left. We don’t even know who we are anymore. But we know this:
We believe in Alphonso.
We trust in Kobe.
And we would follow that Spare Change into the dark.

One of the most unique places I have ever been too. The staff and drinks were unbelievable. Every drink was made like a chief prepares a meal; with precision and attention to detail. I was absolutely great and recommend everyone to go to this place!

I love an art deco bar so this was a must visit based on previous reviews.

Finding the entrance is a fun little part of the experience. Inside the venue it’s quite dark and bustling making it hard to identify staff and let them know you’ve arrived. I would suggest a reservation as it was super busy.
Despite booking in advance, we were seated at the bar, with our uncomfortable seats on a busy throughway. It was quite loud sitting at the bar with the constant repetitions of “yes chef” from behind the bar starting to grate on me.
The drinks were well made and reasonably priced. The White Sands and Electric Blue were actually delicious. However, the salt on the outside of the glass of the Pink Cadillac was overwhelming and the King Bee was so strong I couldn’t really get any flavour.
The overall vibe made it hard to relax and we didn’t stay for any more than two drinks. Would I return to Maybe Mae? Maybe one day, maybe not.

Haven’t been to maybe Mae for a couple of years, but damn it’s gotten worse. I don’t wan’t to scan a QR code to look at the menu. I goto a bar to socialise and mingle with mates, disconnect from media, not have to bring out my phone to look at a screen of $25+ cocktails? This ruins the atmosphere with everyone staring at a screen. And they used to do complimentary snacks which I didn’t see either. Would have rated 1 star; but the cocktails are half decent still.

When I say hidden, I really do mean hidden. The entrance is just off Peel Street in the same entrance to Bread and Bone but you go downstairs and then the door is hidden in the wall paneling. Once you find the bar you are greeted by welcoming staff who were more than helpful in finding the right cocktail. I did try the Peel Street Corpse Reviver which is definitely worth trying. There are booths to sit in or like us, we sat at the bar. If in Adelaide, you should pop in for at least one.

Phenomenal service. Next to no wait time compared to usual when waiting for cocktails to arrive. Staff highly knowledgeable and friendly. An absolute hidden gem of Adelaide.

Noouzo

There were five of us catching up to celebrate a birthday, so we booked a booth upstairs. Great call, very warm and cosy up there and service was constant. The food, the quality of everything we ate was exceptional. From the Jamon to the cheesecake we thoroughly enjoyed every dish we tried, which was most of the menu. Drinks were delicious and servers were fabulous. Plus we had uno cards and jenga on the shelf of our booth which we got to enjoy a game of each. A couple hours of excellent food, service and company cost us $67 each, we’ll be back. Thank you.

The most perfect meal I’ve ever had! Staff were welcoming and personable; food was immaculate. Their beautiful wine was a necessity to cut through their rich meats, and their rye bread was among the best I have ever tasted. They are masters of using acidic pickles to cut through the decadent food. I had the Brussels sprouts with Gorgonzola cream, chilli honey, pecorino and toasted almonds as my main. It was incredible. If you’re not a sprouts fan this dish will convert you. The bar had an inviting and intimate atmosphere with lovely music. I never leave reviews but this place deserved it. I’m already planning another visit.

What a fun little place ! I wanted something easy and relaxed and this hit the mark perfectly. Really generous servings , charming staff and good value. What’s not to love ? . ÀND À killer soundtrack w Bob Dylan, Neil Young etc.

This spot is the real deal. Came here for dinner and didn’t know what to expect but left very satisfied. Staff are friendly, polite and have a real passion for the foods and drink that they provide. We had the mushrooms, kingfish and t-bone steak on their tap as styled menu and the food was magnificent.

You can eat at the tables outside, at the downstairs bar or in the booths upstairs. Strongly recommend checking this place out.

Highly recommended for their vibe and delicious dishes. We had a big lunch at Fino/Seppeltsfield followed by a tasting at Torbreck’s, and opted for a lighter dinner. They offered a good selection of Gin based cocktails and shared size tapas. Brussel sprout is a must try. We encored a second order. Booking preferred although we waited only 15 minutes or so walked in.

Stopped in at Udaberri on our way to dinner for a cheeky drink. The food looked too yummy to pass up so we ordered some snacks to enjoy with our wine. Everything was divine complete with excellent service.

We let ourselves be surprised by the chef, and each dish was truly exquisite. The flavors invited us to eat more. The mussels were delicious; they were my favorite dish. The velvety texture of the creme brulee was delightful. The design takes you back to French restaurants; the atmosphere is very relaxed. The service is excellent! Highly recommended, and the products are top quality. Alejandra Lorenzo, chef

Wonderful atmosphere – it was a full house and you knew it from the sound and feel, yet we could still have a conversation and hear ourselves think. GREAT food. Snails were small and yummy, but it was the baguette dunked in all the buttery goodness that was the real winner. The steak was a perfect medium rare, seemingly for most restaurants a hard task, but not here. The pommel frites we deliciously crunchy. The French onion soup has so much flavour and depth. The anchovy tartine simply delicious. The service was great. And to top it off, when paying the eftpos machine had tipping turned off – wonderful to not feel obliged to have to go through this painful ritual in Australia. I hadn’t hear of La Buvette previously and I don’t know why, it’s one of the best around.

My previous visit was for a cocktail after visiting Bibliotheca next door. I was intrigued and decided to make reservations for Friday dinner.

I did not regret it. On quiet little Gresham Street lies a hidden gem of a bar and venue.

+1⭐️ for the welcome. I think the manager must be French and it was lovely to have such a warm welcome in the ever-wonderful accent. What was lovelier is when we left, he remembered my name and said “Merci Michelle” – customers love being called by name!
+1⭐️ for the menu and to the chef for creating the menu that had a lovely variety of small plates and mains that had the French vibe to it.
+1⭐️ we started with the Duck Rilettes and Escargot – it’s a shame but probably just as well that the escargot did not come with the shell. It was served with the house-baked sour dough which was perfectly warm and crisp. The Duck came with a side of pickled vegetables which balanced it really well when spread on the sour dough. The bread was delicious when dipped into the cooking juices of the escargot.
+1⭐️ We had the Boeuf Bourginon and of course Steak Frites. The Bourginon was incredibly tender. For a lady the size of the porterhouse steak was perfect. Most of all, my steak was perfectly medium rare and well-rested. The frites were beautifully cooked and crispy. Kudos to them for remembering that I did not want salt on my fries and cared enough to ask if I wanted salt on my steak. I said just a wee bit. The steak was fresh and beautifully cooked that it didn’t require a lot of seasoning. I did ask for a side of French mustard as it’s how I love having my steak – neat with a bit of mustard.
+1⭐️ The vibe of the bar/restaurant is perfect – it has enough energy but it’s not overly noisy. The choice of music kept the vibe going without being too loud.

Two down sides:

The waitress that served us could not remember our drinks order but the place puts you in a good mood and she was lovely enough that it didn’t matter. When I ordered the “Steak Frites” she asked me if I wanted it with “fries” – I think she might be new and not quite familiar with French culture.

I ordered a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon from the board. I chose it as it was from McLaren Vale – I cannot recall the winery and don’t care to as the wine had a terrible after-taste akin to a wet rag. It did not improve with food either. The Merlot that was available by the glass from Bordeaux was better suited and berry-driven.

I think that the owners can have a review of the red wine selection as there are better wines locally at the similar price point.

I highly recommend this place for a great night out with friends. I will be back.

Fantastic steak cooked to perfection and served with crispy fries (absolutely delicious). The oysters were incredibly fresh and flavorful. Great quality all around. Highly recommend!

We had a catch up dinner with a mate whom we hadn’t seen in about four weeks. Atmosphere was was great, music selection was superb for the evening. To start, we were welcomed to our seat with open arms and given our water, which was poured for us (this was not consistent throughout the evening as they were busy). But otherwise service was good. Selected the feedme option which came in at modest $79 per persons. Entrees were good, and the coffin bay oysters were especially fresh and crisp (a must have). Escargot as especially fantastische. Mains consisted of the mussels and steak. Mussels were accompanied with a splendid broth however, we were presented with 13 mussels which although delicious, made splitting our portions an effort in futility. Steak was buttery but could’ve perhaps used more seasoning. Crème bruleme excellent best we’ve ever had (must have). 4/5

La Bouvette is a charming little gem! Think sophisticated Parisian vibes with a playfulness that makes you want to settle in and never leave. The food is delicious, the drinks list is exciting, and the waiters are all divine with their beautiful French accents. We kicked off our night with champagne (you must!), the marinated olives (generous and plump!), and the oysters with mignonette (so fresh!). We also couldn’t resist ordering the sourdough baguette with the most indulgent French butter (OMG!) because what’s more French than bread and butter right?! A big bowl of mussels came next which were served with more sourdough bread. We weren’t disappointed so we used the bread to mop up the delicious creamy white wine and saffron broth and sipped on a bright French rose. We enjoyed the pommes frites and then opted to skip more mains in favour of the Crème Brule which was decadent and sweet and the perfect end to our meal. A special shoutout to La Bouvette’s take on the Espresso Martini, it was simply delightful and not too sweet. We also appreciated the space with its moody lighting and music that was played loud enough to create atmosphere, but low enough to hear each other talk. It’s not a super young crowd either which makes this place a nice change from the bars along peel street and leigh street. A perfect spot for a date night, or night out with a small group of friends!

Ended up here randomly to refresh myself after some street photography. Highly recommended if you a fan of french food and want to try a selection of french wine. The venue was cosy with some great french electronic/fonk playing in the background.

Absolutely AMAZING. From the moment we walked in the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff were wonderful. Very friendly, attentive and welcoming. We had the chef’s selections with wine pairing and we were not disappointed. My absolute favourite was the candied beetroot dish. Highly recommend. Each dish was presented beautifully and the wine pairing just complimented the dishes perfectly. Paola was very knowledgeable with the wine pairings and told us about each wine and its back history. Thank you Paola and the staff at Apoteca for a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back.

Wow wow.. what a beautiful Apothecary Apoteca is. We loved it, the staff were so funny & also kind. Jake & Tom I believe were their names. My apologies we had been drinking by that stage haha what an incredible bar/ restaurant. The food & our drinks were splendid too. I feel lucky to have had the experience as part of our Adelaide home. The medicinal cabinets, the contrast of wood &
Burgundy plushness felt so grand & posh old worldly, & unlike anything I’ve ever been to. Also the wine cellar has this French softness to it & we loved it also. Thank you so much. xx

I did not know what I wanted for dinner apart from something good… The 4 course chef selection and wine pairing far exceeded what I had hoped for. The music was spot on for choice and volume as well (I hate when it’s too loud). I will definitely be back (possibly way too) often

What a great experience tonight at Apoteca for our 25th wedding anniversary! I highly recommend the chef’s tasting menu option paired with wines. A great way to taste different dishes with wines matching each course.
Great atmosphere and very attentive staff!
Thank you Apoteca! Steve & Myriam

Da buon farmacista potevo perdermi una visita in questo tempio antico del farmaco ? Bellissimo ambiente, bellissima idea, arredo appassionante e tutti quei prodotti esposti. Buona accoglienza buona cena e buon servizio

Absolutely amazing in every respect. Food was mouth-wateringly delicious, staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable on both the food and drinks. Get comfy in an old-timey atmosphere with the historical background of an old apothecary. Special note to the bartender who was able to make the perfect recommendations to both our personal taste and pair with the upcoming food, of there was a bit of a wait for but was well and truly worth it as masterpieces take time to create. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be returning

Had the chef’s menu with wine pairings – incredible! Every course was wonderful and the only issue was that we didn’t have larger stomachs. Staff were lovely and the atmosphere was really nice. Highly recommend!

This lovely bar is tucked away and right next to La Buvette – a lovely place to start the night before going next door for dinner or vice versa.

I have always enjoyed this bar because it has a laid back atmosphere. You would come to this bar if you wanted to catch up with a friend and have long conversations without having to shout.

Their cocktail menu is extensive and as far as I can tell, they have a good selection of whiskeys as well.

For me, the biggest draw is the inclusion of The Vesper in their cocktail menu. The classic martini of James Bond and my favourite cocktail. Not many bars with younger bar tenders know what a Vesper is, nor do they have it in their menu. My only gripe is the reminder that The Vesper should be served in a coupe glass but that is me being picky. They make the Vespers well here.

Went here on a Thursday night. Cosy bar with quirky cocktail names. Great if you are a bibliophile – you will see some famous book titles and excerpts, if that takes your fancy. These would be great cinversation starters if your date reads or has read some intelligent literature.
The bar server Charlie was very helpful with the drinks selection as I wanted to try some cocktails that were not too sweet but had some gusto and body to it. The Honey Pot (photo) was a strong whisky made smooth by the honey and white chocolate piece added. Simple and delicious. I would love to come back to try the other decadent sounding beverages.

This place is just so great!
Our crew rocked up at like 22:00 on a Tuesday for some late night celebratory drinks and the bartender was such a great guy and made our celebration even more enjoyable! He remade my spritz bc he wasn’t happy with it, no extra charge – every drink was yummy as *and* made with heart and soul

And major props to bartender man for concocting my girlfriend’s Creamy Blueberry Club too

It was a wonderful night made even more wonderful coming to Bibliotheca

One of the coolest bars in Adelaide. An amazing selection of whisky and some absolutely incredible book themed cocktails. The most incredible bar staff. Definitely a must visit!

Visited in Aug 2024

Probably the best cocktail bar I visited during my trip to ADL. This ‘library theme’ design bar has a really nice ambience along with some awesome cocktails. I ended up trying quite a few drinks from their “Literature, Stirred & Shaken” part of the menu which had some very interesting drinks based on some famous literary references. My favourites were the Ice & Fire (which has a very nice preparation style too), the Honey Pot, and the Silmaril.

Take a counter seat to see some interesting and ‘fiery’ cocktail preparation techniques.

All in all, this cocktail bar is a must visit if you’re in Adelaide.

Easily our favourite bar while on holiday in Adelaide. Friendly service with great knowledge, barman seemed genuinely happy to be at work, helpful also with going through some good Australian whiskey options / recommendations.
Cocktails were 10/10 and at atmosphere is great.

100% first place we will visit when returning in the future

It’s not often a themed bar gets it right but Bibliotheca is on point. It’s a cosy, tucked away bar with a definitive library feel. My friend and I got a cocktail each, The Drink That Shall Not Be Named and The Golden Ticket. Both of these were incredible, as was the service. Our bartender knew her stuff and correctly chose our drinks to suit us when we asked for help. I also enjoyed perusing all the secondhand books on the shelves and the traditional green library lamps scattered around the room. Really want to go back with friends because this is a place I want to show off, especially as an avid book lover.

Found room for one on a busy Friday night which is always appreciated! Friendly staff member serving and the tuna carpaccio was great, the SA wine flight enjoyable and the follow-up wines that the team chose based on what I liked were great.

Lots of hard surfaces so a bit noisy but the place has a nice vibe it’s clearly well loved by the locals as a place for couples to have dinner and friends to catch up.

Once you get the young staff’s attention the service is friendly and relaxed. The wine list is pretty good too. The place was buzzy with a live band. The food was the only meh moment. A salmon tartare of sorts had the bland flavour of a 70s prawn cocktail, while halloumi bites in honey were the texture of tofu. Great people watching.

Sunday afternoon Jazz was so lovely and the food was really delicious! Service could be improved. We were initially greeted by a lovely and warm lady but the remainder of our time was with a waitress who was not very friendly at all! We gave her the benefit of the doubt that maybe it was an off night for her…

We came for dinner with our dog, so took a seat outside – unfortunately missed the live jazz played inside. The service was great, the food OK. A bit on the heavy side (a bit too much cheese, mayo and deep fried tortilla chips). The selection of wine by the glass was not that extensive, either.
But overall still a good option. The neighborhood around Rundle street felt amazing – shame we were in Adelaide only for a few days.

We had a valentines dinner with a pre selected 3 course menu. Every dish was beautifully prepared, flavours were wonderful and we loved every bite.
Our hosts were all lovely with great knowledge on our dishes and wines and took great care of us.
The restaurant has a lovely warm, quiet vibe, and we’re already planning on bringing friends here when we return.

Fantastic quiet night with some great wine (and tequila). Beautiful and warm with the heaters. Fantastic service with a lovely girl who made our night, will be back!

Fantastic Group Dining Experience at Mother Vine!

Recently had the pleasure of dining with a group of 11 at Mother Vine, and we opted for the “Feed Me” menu, letting the chef send out his selection of dishes. The food was incredibly fresh, with tantalizing flavors throughout the meal. The beef cheeks were an absolute standout—tender and full of rich flavor!

The wine list is impressively extensive, offering something for every palate. The cozy atmosphere added to the overall experience, making it a perfect spot for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. Highly recommend!

The owner was super helpful in choosing a tapas experience that was delicious, his customer service was 10/10 old school ! Had the best afternoon as a treat for my birthday from one of my best friends ❤️ will definitely return.

Looking for a new spot to enjoy a romantic dinner with your partner? Look no further than Bar Torino. This cozy bar offers an extensive menu of delicious tapas and entrees, perfect for sharing with your loved one. The atmosphere is top-notch, with a beautifully designed interior that sets the mood for an unforgettable evening. Plus, the cigar menu is a big plus for those who enjoy a good smoke. We highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience.

This was the perfect launch pad for our Saturday afternoon drinks and by the time we left after a few cocktails, we were primed for the rest of the night. Delicious drinks and mixes with a slight twist. Friendly team and we enjoyed the outdoor area, soaking in the last rays of the afternoon

Very accomodating, friendly environment. Table service is 10/10 food is next level. Even if you have dietary requirements, they will accomomate too. We will be back very soon.

Amazing feed me menu with more food than we could eat and great wine and cocktail selection. Easily managed dietary requirements.
Night was made by our waitress Maddy who provided excellent service and vibes throughout, and made sure we got the bill on time to catch our fringe show. Will definitely come for dinner again!

Consistently excellent share dishes, drinks and service

We needed Friday night drinks and tasty food and were pleased to score a table at the bar [Covid spacing] where we relaxed and enjoyed great service, drinks and food. The Covid check-in QR code was conveniently positioned on the food menu

Mismatch pints were still $10 and Voyager sparkling was $11 per glass

Our food arrived quickly – we enjoyed

Anchovy toast, whipped ricotta, pickled cucumber [$5] – perfect starter

Kingfish ceviche, coconut, lime, chilli, green tomato [$21] – delicious

Abrolhos islands scallops, green chilli, pumpkin seeds, lime [$6] – a little chilli dominant but good value-4-money

Casarecce, zucchini peos, broccolini, lemon mascarpone, fontina, pangrattato [$24] – a very generous dish we shared

The staff handled the bustle very well, ensuring guests waiting outside for tables were brought in and seated when tables had been cleaned – high quality, friendly service

It is always a pleasure spending time here

Stunning interior design. The cabbage dish was an absolute delight, bursting with flavors that left a lasting impression. The staff’s warm hospitality added a personal touch, making the visit even more memorable!

Love this place, staff and friendly and accomodating, know their wines and cocktails well, whether you sit at the bar or head upstairs they are always ready for a chat and recommendations. Charming little venue.

Nice bar with friendly staff, coupled with great wines. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the friendly and professional staff. The bar has a rooftop area, but our preference for the night was to sit downstairs at the bar; soft lighting, comfortable seating, and cool decorations.

Proof is one of Adelaide’s best hidden gem wine bars, up there with Rascals. The vibes are immaculate, and warm, and the service is so friendly. Proof is the perfect place if you’re looking for somewhere hidden away from the chaos of Adelaide’s nightlife hotspots. It is the perfect place to start a night out.

Had my wife’s birthday here last night and I would just like to thank the staff for there excellent service. This is a great venue and I highly recommend it. A great night was had by all so thank you once again. We will definitely be back

Such an amazing wine bar with the most perfect collection. We came here for date night and were floored by the presentation. Amazing choices, great atmosphere and a sophisticated environment – a must visit

Offering a concise wine list, skilled bartenders capable and willing to throw together even the most obscure of cocktails (or a Penicillin in my case), and with a relaxed atmosphere, Proof Bar is the perfect spot for a late-night tipple. Highly recommend.

Flew in from Perth today and this is our first bar of the trip. The cocktails and wine selections are amazing. If all Adelaide bars are like this, we might not leave.
